A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon
streets or sections of streets where temporary EMERGENCY NO PARKING
signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his/her absence, the
ranking police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to
direct the posting of EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs when weather conditions,
accidents, road construction, fire or public celebrations dictate
or require avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere
with the free flow of traffic. Notification that EMERGENCY NO PARKING
signs are being or will be posted shall be given to the operator or
owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior to the posting of
the signs.
B.
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon the signs being
erected as required by law.
A.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets or highways, an emergency shall exist, and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated in Schedule XXIII (§ 292-64).
B.
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow
has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to
the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of
traffic.
C.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed
a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic,
and any police officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle.
The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage
which may result from such removal before regaining possession of
the vehicle.
